“It’s an exciting place to be but it’s a tough one,” Kuchar said after a final-round 74 Sunday that left him in a fifth-place tie. “I don’t know how many opportunities you get at winning the Masters Tournament. I don’t know how many more I’ll get.

“It’s one of those things you get in the situation and you hope to take advantage, but it’s a lot better in this position than playing early on Sunday, that’s for sure.”
